Summer Turbo Project

[Smokinspeeds]

also looks like i will be the only cb7 member (that i know off) sporting a JB welded blow off valve since no one around here can weld aluminum piping... im hoping it will hold, hell....if it can patch the side of an engine block, it can hold in 8 psi ::crosses fingers::

backfire32 jb welded his on ive seen it irl too looked deceivingly well welded lol

i accidentally overtorqued the top nut (the 17mm that holds the mount in place) and bent the tab right out its place....so i had to take the bolts that holds the mount to the block off WITH the rubber mount stil in place....

glad to see your project coming along man....what exhaust are you using?

i have the flange off of a 1g downpipe, im just going to take it to a local shop and get custom prolly 2 1/2 inch, i dunno yet, if i can afford 3 ill do it, what exhaust are you using?

[bresk8r87]

ive got the o2 housing flange as well and im having a friends dad weld 2.5 to it and running that all the way back

[spitfireskatr7]

yea i think ill go with 2.5 aswell, except now im reconsidering going turbo because of stupid that stupid chipped ecu, i tryed to reburn the chip and now it doesnt start, if i cant figure out how to use it then i dunno what im gonna do, im gettin frustrated haha

[bresk8r87]

from what ive seen, 3" requires notching the crossmember... dont let one problem with your ecu get you down, keep at it and figure it out...ive wanted to quit about 15 times since i started, seeming as ive been doing everything with handtools in my driveway... just the think how satisfying that first full boost pull will be...

[spitfireskatr7]

yea but its so frustrating, one thing after another and i havent even started yet...but yea the first pull is going to be amazing, btw, i thoughti knew where the j1 was but i guess i dont, where is it, i thought it was on the underside of the ecu but i dont see it

[bresk8r87]

its right next to r49 and r62, looking at the board it should be towards the top right of your socket.... you need to jump j1 with apiece of wire...thats probably your problem? if that wire is cut youre just running a stock map on the ecu.

this is a picture from mrx's thread...notice j1, towards the top of r49.

hope this helps

[spitfireskatr7]

ohh okay, i dunno where i read that it was on the bottom haha, yea mine looks just like that so i dunno *edit* maybe it was loose or something cuz i wiggled it and then i put the chip back in and plugged in my ecu and it started right up and is running good again, sorry to jack your thread thanks for your help man i appreciate it

[Smokinspeeds]

Ok, I thought when I first saw your car you jb welded something on your piping tho? maybe I'm wrong but you said something about jb welding at that meet lol...

[bresk8r87]

car is driveable. pics later.

[spitfireskatr7]

nice work man, how is it driving?

[bresk8r87]

havent left the driveway yet because i still havent put the bumper back on because of the ic, but it idles and revs pretty nice, no really problems yet except the o2 sensor cel for lack of having a downpipe....

[spitfireskatr7]

yea thats why i just disabled closed loop for now, i just had my downpipe made yesterday, now i just ahve to bend my ac lines out of the way so i can put the o2 back in

just disable the o2 sensor in uberdata. its not like you're gona use it while boosting anyways.
